“Somebody remind me, why do I have to pay to fix his house? Nobody paid to fix mine in the 1971 California earthquake”

Easy explanation: Hurricane Sandy was caused by global warm...climate change, or whatever it’s called this week, and the Saugus quake happened before global whatever was invented. The government should have already raised taxes enough to stop climate whatever but they have not, thus it is the government’s, i.e. the tax payers’ fault his home was damaged by Sandy. We must pay!
